Leadership Seminar 2008

"Public Relations"

PTPI's international leadership seminar is a special program to support the presidents of PTPI adult and university chapters, the adult advisors of PTPI student chapters as well as PTPI trustees. The aim of the seminar was to enable active European PTPI chapter leaders to meet, exchange experiences and enhance their public relation skills as well as to encourage PTPI chapters to initiate more and/or new member outreach activities and improve cooperation between chapters in Europe.

Some impressions of the seminar are included on this Web page. We will soon create a picture gallery with more photos.
